Kearny Mesa is keeping a big secret. In the corner of a tiny strip mall, slightly off the beaten track, hides a venue serving some of the most delicious Korean barbeque in the neighborhood. Although the outside façade is quite unassuming, Mapo greets guests with warm familiarity and the mouthwatering aromas of roasted meat. With an extensive menu featuring everything from seafood dishes to spicy noodle bowls, guests are even offered the unique option of grilling their entrees tableside. Showcasing a generous All-You-Can-Eat-Special, they are perfect for larger family gatherings or the solo diner seeking a quick lunch. Ordering a la carte, diners may taste the savory flavors of spicy pork bulgogi, kimchi tofu soup or boiled dumplings. Specializing in Asian cuisine, with an emphasis on exotic flavors of the sea, Mapo offers guests a little taste of Korea close to home.
